Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system
from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to
memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space).
That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high.
The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks
consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the
whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully
without the need to find per-task hard limits.
Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers
or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do
killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will
help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably.
We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to
save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot
path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway.
Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full".
Borrowing the explanation from Johannes:
The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty
of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it
makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device,
even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without
any IO. Trading disk space for IO.
But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted
in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space
like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too
expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot).
So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap
slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap
slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM.
We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is
filled with redundant cache.

There's a new workingset counter introduced in commit 1899ad18c6 ("mm:
workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing"). With
the help of this counter we can know the workingset is transitioning or
thrashing. To leverage the benifit of this counter to memcg, we should
introduce it into memory.stat. Then we could know the workingset of the
workload inside a memcg better.
Bellow is the verification of this new counter in memory.stat. Read a
file into the memory and then read it again to make these pages be
active. The size of this file is 1G. (memory.max is greater than file
size) The counters in memory.stat will be
inactive_file 0
active_file 1073639424
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Trigger the memcg reclaim by setting a lower value to memory.high, and
then some pages will be demoted into inactive list, and then some pages
in the inactive list will be evicted into the storage.
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 310063104
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Then recover the memory.high and read the file into memory again. As a
result of it, the transitioning will occur. Bellow is the result of
this transitioning,
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 575397888
workingset_refault 64746
workingset_activate 64746
workingset_restore 64746

The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb
using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter.
Document it.
Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting
of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc". See that patch for
more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc"
and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works
if your tty driver is already ready). The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works
in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.
Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support
Branch Target Identification (BTI):
- Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.
- Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.
- BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
- Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.
- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.
- Minor other IORT-related fixes.
Miscellaneous:
- Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
deadlock.
- Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).
- Refactoring and cleanup"

This introduces mtdpstore, which is similar to mtdoops but more
powerful. It uses pstore/blk, and aims to store panic and oops logs to
a flash partition, where pstore can later read back and present as files
in the mounted pstore filesystem.
To make mtdpstore work, the "blkdev" of pstore/blk should be set
as MTD device name or MTD device number. For more details, see
Documentation/admin-guide/pstore-blk.rst
This solves a number of issues:
- Work duplication: both of pstore and mtdoops do the same job storing
panic/oops log. They have very similar logic, registering to kmsg
dumper and storing logs to several chunks one by one.
- Layer violations: drivers should provides methods instead of polices.
MTD should provide read/write/erase operations, and allow a higher
level drivers to provide the chunk management, kmsg dump
configuration, etc.
- Missing features: pstore provides many additional features, including
presenting the logs as files, logging dump time and count, and
supporting other frontends like pmsg, console, etc.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Currently, the root cgroup does not have a cpu.stat file. Add one which
is consistent with /proc/stat to capture global cpu statistics that
might not fall under cgroup accounting.
We haven't done this in the past because the data are already presented
in /proc/stat and we didn't want to add overhead from collecting root
cgroup stats when cgroups are configured, but no cgroups have been
created.
By keeping the data consistent with /proc/stat, I think we avoid the
first problem, while improving the usability of cgroups stats.
We avoid the second problem by computing the contents of cpu.stat from
existing data collected for /proc/stat anyway.

Changing base clock frequency directly impacts TSC Hz but not CPUID.16h
value. An overclocked CPU supporting CPUID.16h and with partial CPUID.15h
support will set TSC KHZ according to "best guess" given by CPUID.16h
relying on tsc_refine_calibration_work to give better numbers later.
tsc_refine_calibration_work will refuse to do its work when the outcome is
off the early TSC KHZ value by more than 1% which is certain to happen on
an overclocked system.
Fix this by adding a tsc_early_khz command line parameter that makes the
kernel skip early TSC calibration and use the given value instead.
This allows the user to provide the expected TSC frequency that is closer
to reality than the one reported by the hardware, enabling
tsc_refine_calibration_work to do meaningful error checking.
[ tglx: Made the variable __initdata as it's only used on init and
removed the error checking in the argument parser because

Implement handling for metadata version 2. The new metadata adds a
label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for
the underlying block devices.
It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for
emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed
logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing
the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device.
The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold
another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation
number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.

This option increases the number of SLB misses by limiting the number
of kernel SLB entries, and increased flushing of cached lookaside
information. This helps stress test difficult to hit paths in the
kernel.

This reverts commit 2f4c33063a.
The changes here were fine, but there's a non-documentation change to
sysctl.c that makes messes elsewhere; those changes should have been done
independently.

The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the
current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created.
This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only.
For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has
the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters
than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.

Make some miscellaneous fixes to the first paragraph of "ECC memory":
- Change the incorrect "74 bits" to "72 bits".
- Change "mentioned on" to "mentioned in".
- Remove the extra "extra".
- Rephrase some sentences as suggested by Matthew Wilcox.

Add callback for 'dmsetup message' to allow the reclaim process
to be triggered manually.
Eg.
dmsetup message /dev/dm-X 0 message
will start the reclaim process even if the default threshold
of 50 percent of free random zones is not reached.

Add callback to supply information for 'dmsetup status'
and 'dmsetup table'. The output for 'dmsetup status' is
0 <size> zoned <nr_zones> zones <nr_unmap_rnd>/<nr_rnd> random <nr_unmap_seq>/<nr_seq> sequential
where <nr_unmap_rnd> is the number of unmapped (ie free) random zones,
<nr_rnd> the total number of random zones, <nr_unmap_seq> the number
of unmapped sequential zones, and <nr_seq> the total number of
sequential zones.

This new target is similar to the linear target except that it emulates
a smaller logical block size on a device with a larger logical block
size. Its main purpose is to emulate 512 byte sectors on 4K native
disks (i.e. 512e).
See Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-ebs.rst for details.

Sometimes it is useful to preserve batches of configs when making
localmodconfig. For example, I usually don't want any usb and fs
modules to be disabled. Now we can do it by:

This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding
an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the
induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section.
Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither
of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled.
Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional
complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing.
